Implicazioni per il lavoro e le relazioni sindacali nell’esternalizzazione di servizi pubblici in Italia : autonomie locali e Sanità a confronto
No full textL’articolo esplora le implicazioni per il lavoro e le relazioni sindacali a seguito dell’esternalizzazione di servizi pubblici nella pubblica amministrazione italiana adottando un approccio comparato tra Enti locali e Sanità. Attraverso due studi di caso l’analisi, pur individuando traiettorie simili nei due settori, avanza una serie di argomenti a sostegno delle rilevanti differenze che emergono.The article investigates how outsourcing processes of public services impact on labour and employment relations in the Italian public administration. Through a comparative case-study analysis between local government and health care sector the research, beyond identifying some convergent trajectories between the two sectors, sheds light on relevant divergences to which various explanations are provided
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Condizioni di lavoro e relazioni industriali nelle catene del valore della logistica
No full textQuesto contributo offre uno sguardo sociologico sulle condizioni di lavoro, le relazioni
industriali, le strategie sindacali e i conflitti lungo la catena logistica, attraverso una rassegna
di studi italiani e internazionali. Verrà evidenziato come, pur essendo un settore
molto eterogeneo, che comprende al suo interno tipi di impresa e «figure del lavoro»
molto diversificate, esso sia accomunato da una significativa frammentazione della catena
del valore, utilizzata dalle imprese leader come strategia di compressione dei costi e
aggiramento della regolazione. Mostreremo poi come si siano strutturate le forme di
azione collettiva nel settore, evidenziando come le risposte sindacali abbiano cercato di
dare risposta alle diverse tecniche di deresponsabilizzazione e di elusione dei rischi adottate
dalle imprese

L'impatto delle scelte datoriali sulle condizioni di lavoro e sulle diseguaglianze : disintegrazione verticale, esternalizzazioni e appalti
No full textThe increasing segmentation of the labour market and the growth of differences between insiders and outsiders has been a major concern for the academic literature and, more recently, the public debate. Rarely, however, the driving forces determining such phenomena have been analysed or questioned. In particular, the role of employers' strategies in producing segmentation has been substantially neglected. Still, corporate practices such as vertical disintegration have been strongly associated with the growth of bad jobs and of insider/outsider divides. This paper discusses these issues exploring how the organizational practices of organisations from the public and private sector have contributed to produce inequalities among the workforce involved in their activities. Thereby we will argue that it is necessary to place employers' strategies into the debate on inequalities and labour market segmentation and that policies targeted to improve job quality and reduce bad jobs should focus not only on the supply side of the labour market, but also on the demand side
